🎸Genokids – Four Rockers, One Alien Invasion, Endless Style

Genokids is a fast-paced hack-and-slash action game from indie duo Nukefist, where music and motivation collide in a chaotic, over-the-top battle for Earth. When the Infinite Empire of Zenodia descends from the stars to assimilate humankind, their first target is—unfortunately—a concert. One moment, the band Genokids is mid-encore; the next, their stage becomes ground zero for an alien invasion. Instead of running, the band fights back—turning riffs into weapons, and turning every battle into a show-stopping solo.

Built in Unity, Genokids captures the energy of a live performance through kinetic combat and wild creativity. Players can swap between four different characters on the fly, chaining aerial combos and special attacks in a seamless flow of rhythm and destruction. Every blow charges your Motivation Meter, letting you unleash Hyper Mode and push past your limits. Beneath the chaos runs a surprisingly heartfelt story about ambition, burnout, and the unstoppable power of motivation.

Genokids is planned for release on PC, with console versions to follow.

🎮 Let’s Play Genokids Demo

Creator: Antonio Redgrave

In his early demo playthrough, Antonio Redgrave dives headfirst into Genokids’ chaotic energy—immediately captivated by its mix of Devil May Cry-style action and punk-rock personality. He praises the Kickstarter campaign for its fast success (“funded in under 24 hours!”) and calls the demo “a [__] amazing project” that deserves support purely on its style and creativity.

Throughout the video, he highlights the fluid combat system, experimenting with character swapping, custom control mapping, and combo flow. His genuine enthusiasm carries through as he learns the mechanics, noting how Genokids“looks really sick” and feels like a natural evolution of high-speed action games.

“A fast-paced 3D hack and slash game about a band of musicians using the power of motivation to take down an alien invasion… and it feels awesome.” — Antonio Redgrave
